Epiphone Newport Electric Bass Guitar - California Coral Reviews
Epiphone is throwing it back in time with the Newport Bass Guitar — back to 1961 to be exact. After all, that’s when the first all-original Newports hit the shelves. This marvelous modern model pays tribute to the rare vintage model that started it all. Its unique body shape sends out waves of vintage appeal while also making for a comfortable playing experience. This rockin’ Newport sports a body and neck constructed from mahogany that’s full of warmth and sustain. The electronics situated on the Newport comprise two humbuckers that output plenty of rich tones and a set of knobs to control volume, tone, and blend. The musical bottom line? You’ll turn heads with an Epiphone Newport bass.

Old School sound
I always wanted an EB-0 but didn't like the neck dive. The Newport is pretty well balanced.
High maintenance, high potential
This thing looks even better in person than it does online. Great feel, superb neck, love the tone although some think that (like other Epiphones) it is too muddy. No neck dive. Unusually good-sounding bridge pickup.
Be ready to do a lot of work if you buy one. The e string is weak, the neck pickup was crooked and too low, action iffy. Apparently some are wired out of phase (no idea on mine). The tuners are sub-Glarry-quality. The bridge is inherently limited.
Once some more expert advice surfaces online I will probably replace the bridge and strings, maybe the tuners as well. I already shimmed the pickup. But it's gonna be worth it.
